Candida tropicalis strain UH-2-48 can increase the production of decane 1,10-dicarboxylic acid(DC12) yield by 30% (from 81.7 g/L to 108.2 g/L) after regulating the fermentation condition. The purity of the DC12 is above 97%, which can meet the criteria of the succeeding synthesized industrial productions. Emulsifier can not only destroy the structure of the cell membrane in some degree, but also can enhance the permeability of the cell membrane. Furthermore, the structure of the emulsifier itself can also effect its function. Tween 60(0.10%) can enhance the production of DC12 tremendously. Urea, as the nitrogen resource, can affect the activity of cytochrome P450 enzyme. Some biochemistry and biophysics factors, such as penicillin, vitamin B2 and alanine, can increase the yield of DC12 during the process of fermentation. Ferment in 20 m3 fermentator, under the optimal condition, the average yield of DC12 using the strain HP-12 which derived from UH-2-48, is 202.1 g/L.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010406	Penicillins	A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.

D002175	Candida	A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).
